This is one of two models sent to me by a collector friend in Germany, being export editions that can be hard to find here.
The model is the very long-running VW Beetle casting and here looking a bit like the usual white Police Car issue but with a distinct bright olive-green panel on the sides. On the white roof is a small blue beacon. The base is white painted, with white bumpers front and rear and this has the 'four crown' style of Whizzwheels with POLITZEI in white on black stickers front and back (the back one is missing).
The interior is red with no police characters inside. There is an '18' decal on the roof too.
It's in good condition with only one or two small chips to the paintwork and good screens all round. It is all original and actually has some suspension which is unusual on these.
It may be an optical illusion but the front window appears smaller on this model than on the other edition I have. I am not aware of different castings although, bearing in mind the length of time which has seen a VW1200 being produced it would be hardly surprising.
This would seem to be a much harder to find variation and is priced accordingly.
